This very moment, 6 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.199 Quincidentley four oh six on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is 7 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:25.000 truly one of the sweetest moments of the entire year, right, 8 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.359 I mean, for for almost everybody, because it's at Wednesday 9 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.719 before Thanksgiving. Most people are going to have Thanksgiving off. 10 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.439 And for a lot of people if it's if it's 11 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.200 not their favorite holiday, it's in the top three because 12 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.479 you know, it's just family and you're together, and it's 13 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.039 just the world slows down for a few hours. And 14 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.000 there's that tradition because so people are planning to get 15 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.079 together and then an awful lot of people, you know, 16 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.280 I have Friday off. I know not everybody, but a 17 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.000 lot of people have Friday off. So you got a 18 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.840 good chunk of folks who are sitting here at four 19 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.320 oh six on a Wednesday afternoon just looking for to 20 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:02.799 you know, one of the very best stretches of the 21 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.519 year for them. So it's just it is a sweet moment. 22 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.280 Then we all know, you know, we get to Okay, 23 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.840 it's now six thirty Sunday night or whatever we're saying. Man, 24 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.840 I wish it was four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon again, 25 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.840 just because it is such a cool time. So just 26 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.799 thankful for that, enjoying that and really appreciate you being 27 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.640 here to enjoy it. And there is so much to enjoy, right, 28 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.680 Because my guess is, even if you are left eat that, 29 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.120 you're you're feeling it now. You may never admit it. 30 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.560 It may be grudging, but you're feeling it now. Things 31 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.040 have changed. It's there is real hope now, you know, 32 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.840 not that sugar high phony stuff. That there is real 33 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.040 hope now, and we can see it playing out in 34 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:47.519 tangible way. So I just think that there's a much 35 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.200 more positive, lighter, optimistic mood going into this Thanksgiving than 36 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.239 I think we've had chief. 37 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:55.280 Since I can remember. 38 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.519 So we got that going for us, right, And the 39 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.159 famous words of Bill Murray eight five five four zero 40 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.439 five A two five to five the number more importantly, 41 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.280 text me today if you would d an five seven 42 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.879 seven three nine, and we're gonna it's gonna be a 43 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.680 lot of fun, I think, because I know you're probably 44 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.599 thinking about Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and if you relatives, friends 45 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.240 in laws, this, and that, you're just bound, statistically bound, 46 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.879 especially in Colorado, to have somebody in the mix, you know, 47 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.360 who disagrees with the political politically, pardon me, somebody who's 48 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.439 probably on the left, somebody who's you know, at least 49 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.240 in the past, used to be a Trump hater. 50 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.520 And so you know, you've got to figure out, Okay, 51 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.800 how are you going to approach it tomorrow? Are you 52 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.560 going to just not talk politics at all? 53 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.400 Which I would never criticize anybody for. I mean, my 54 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.960 wife and I, you know, thirty years of phenomenal marriage 55 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.400 at this point in significant part due to the fact 56 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.400 we learned early on we just can't talk politics. So 57 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.439 I'm I'm never going to criticize anybody who just writes 58 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.120 it off for Thanksgiving dinner. Personally, I think it's a 59 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.759 lot more fun to think about different ways to work 60 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.479 it into the conversation. And you know, it's always better 61 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.479 if it's tinged with a little bit of humor. But 62 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.439 they think, I think there are so many different ways 63 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.400 you can start with the opening prayer, right, did do 64 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.919 you lead the prayer? Rye At like Thanksgiving dinner, do 65 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.120 you lead the prayer? Do you try to avoid leading 66 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:20.639 the prayer? 67 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.360 I've done it before. I'm not the go to guy 68 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.520 necessarily every time. Okay, depends on the circumstances. And maybe 69 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:28.680 if it's my turn in the rotation. 70 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.759 Yeah, you won't dodge it if you're asked right, right. 71 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.000 And and our son Joe, it's really fantastic. And Caroline 72 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.879 is a tremendous leader of a young Christian group and 73 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.439 very very faithful. And Joe, I think part of it was, 74 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.560 you know, his role on the football team. He was 75 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.400 a captain of the football team at Cherry Creek, the 76 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.840 privilege of playing for Dave Logan, and so Joe would 77 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.199 often get called on to lead prayers in that context, 78 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.280 and so he kind of developed a thing for us. 79 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.520 So it's kind of like every Thanksgiving. 80 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.240 Or whatever, Hey, Joe, you want to lead the prayer, 81 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.520 and he never ducks that. He does a great job 82 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.039 with it. In fact, you know, I know we're all 83 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.079 thinking today, and honestly, I do think it's a key 84 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.519 to life. Every day. I don't do it as well 85 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.360 as I should, but I try to start every single day. 86 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.120 My mom taught us this grown up first thing you do, 87 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.360 first thing you do when you wake up is think 88 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.600 of five things you're grateful for. And that was way 89 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.319 before Tony Robbins or any of that. I mean, that 90 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.079 was just my mom sou side of Chicago. Hey, think 91 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.360 of the five things you're grateful for to start the day. 92 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.120 And I think that's absolutely right on every single level 93 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.199 and has a chemical effect too. So I know today 94 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:50.639 we're especially focused on that. But so I remember with 95 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.519 our son Joe, and he flew in late last night 96 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.680 from law school. He'll be with us tomorrow. But I'll 97 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.160 tell that story later. I have better make sure it's 98 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.519 okay with him if I tell it. It's a really positive, 99 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.519 cool story, but it might be a little too personal. 100 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.920 Eight five five ur zero five A two five five 101 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.920 the number techs d A N five seven seven three nine. 102 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.480 So what would love your text on? You know? 103 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.480 In particular jokes, because I think the key to tomorrow 104 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.199 if you want to venture into politics at all, and 105 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.439 I always do, I think the key to tomorrow is 106 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.279 is two things. 107 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:32.399 It's humor and unity. And though I say both the same, 108 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.399 one as an age and one as a you obviously, 109 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.839 but it's humor and unity. 110 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.639 And on the humor side, I think what's really safe 111 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.720 tomorrow are Kamala Harris jokes. I really do because and 112 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.639 this is not meant as a shot, I think it's 113 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.959 just true. I think we got past election day and 114 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.839 the vast majority of people on the left can now see. 115 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.240 Maybe they couldn't before because they were so caught up 116 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.480 and you know, Orange Man bad, but they can see 117 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.120 now that that this Kamala Harris thing was truly a joke, 118 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.720 that she was never qualified to be president, and and 119 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.600 it would have been awful. And they can see that 120 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.120 now that their kind of spell has been broken. So 121 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.720 I think Kamala Harris jokes are are kind of fun 122 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.639 for everybody and a unifier. They aren't going to make 123 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.120 anybody mad. And and so I think Kamala Harris jokes 124 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.000 are are very very effective tomorrow. One of the things, 125 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.600 how many good ones text us? 126 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:30.920 Please? 127 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.800 Yes? All of them? Five seven, seven three nine. 128 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.240 That assumes, though, that the liberal participants have a sense 129 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.199 of humor, And I'm not going to jump to that 130 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.959 conclusion necessarily you are jaded. What I will do though, 131 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.839 and I think this works and you know what, it's worked. 132 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.319 Even with my own family members who hate Trump, when 133 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.279 I bust out the Trump impression and start making fun 134 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.920 of him, they love it. 135 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.399 Yeah, but you have a unique ability to do that. 136 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.439 Not all of us do. Not many people can do 137 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.959 the Trump impression. So they're very very dan and just 138 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:01.759 tell it like it is. 139 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.279 No, No, you have got that talent, my friend. You 140 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.079 have got that talent. When you know, when God was 141 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.120 sitting up there and thinking, Okay, what do we. 142 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:10.720 Give this guy? 143 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:11.879 That's all I do. 144 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.560 You know it was Trump impression. Yeah, this guy he 145 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.800 gets the Trump impression. No, that is really good. But 146 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.040 but no jokes, Kamala Harris jokes. 147 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.079 You can't go wrong. 148 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.839 There are no Kamala Harris loyalists. And you know, one 149 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.079 of the things that's going to make Thanksgiving so much 150 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.360 better tomorrow, besides kind of the general overall feeling of 151 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:38.120 optimism moving forward, is there are so many fewer Trump 152 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.759 haters and those who do still hate. The temperatures turned 153 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.240 down a lot, not for all, but most, you know, 154 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.560 since election Day, and I think the reason for that 155 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.600 is again, people take a step back and can see 156 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.720 how this harrisoning would have been a disaster. But also 157 00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:00.000 Trump has been legitimized, and there had been this effort 158 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.560 to delegitimize him since the day came down the escalator, 159 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.199 but he has truly now through this victory, he has 160 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.040 been legitimized. And so I think there's just a much 161 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.079 different attitude in America tourtum and some of it shows up, 162 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.959 you know, and the good approval ratings and all that stuff, 163 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:21.040 But I'm just talking about real world what you feel stuff, 164 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.000 and he has been legitimized. And one of the reasons 165 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.279 why is think, what's in our American DNA, just what 166 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.439 we all inherently respect, sometimes is grudging because we may 167 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.559 disagree with the person and other stuff, but we respect fighters, 168 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.240 we respect courage, we respect people who get off the mat, 169 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:42.600 people who are faced with kind of unimaginable challenges and 170 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:47.159 they overcome them at the hero's journey. It's in our DNA. 171 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.320 And so I think there is so much more respect 172 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.480 for Trump right now and so much less hate just 173 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.600 for the fact he was able to overcome all of that, 174 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.039 let alone for the positive reasons to support them. So 175 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.240 I think that's going to make Thanksgiving dinner that much easier, 176 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.960 make politics safer. But I would respectfully suggest and I 177 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.080 believe me tomorrow requesting lots of things, but I would 178 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.360 respectfully suggest that that A key is you can talk 179 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.000 political issues, in my opinion, at dinner with plenty of 180 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:26.279 liberals there if if if I'm focused on the issues 181 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.919 that are more unifying, right, because there are certain things 182 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.840 that were really big on the Trump agenda that no 183 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:38.919 nobody can really disagree with. You know, these things like uh, yeah, yeah, 184 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.360 you know, we should get the criminals out of the country. 185 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.200 So folks here illegally who've committed other crimes, every reasonable 186 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.120 person is going to agree that they should go. You know, 187 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.799 people actually committing other crimes should go. 188 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.360 So that that's. 189 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.559 Something big everybody can agree on. You know, I think 190 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.240 everybody can agree that. But boy, it's going to be great. 191 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.279 It's going to be great to have lower prices. Everybody 192 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.919 knows prices are too high, right, I mean, there are 193 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.639 just these different points that I think so many people 194 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.600 can agree on, and I think just focusing on those 195 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.720 during Thanksgiving dinner. Another one is is you know, parts 196 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:24.519 are parts you know can't have, can't have males with 197 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:29.639 penises and girls' bathrooms and showers everybody sees that that's 198 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.440 another positive thing. Might want to wait for the rate 199 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.480 part of dinner to get into that. You know the 200 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.240 fennyl and Trump now is stepping up with the tariff thing. 201 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.440 He's going to use the thread of those tariffs. He's 202 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.519 going to make China and Mexico shut down this chemical 203 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.519 attack on our country. You have fast majority of people 204 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.360 can agree on that, so they're so I personally, I'm 205 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.480 going to stick to those more unified issues. 206 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.000 But on the humor front. 207 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.240 Let me know your good Kamala jokes, and I've got 208 00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.440 some thoughts on how to work some kind of subtle 209 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.639 jabs into the into the prayer. 210 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:04.279 You're on the Dan Kapla Show. 211 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.600 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 212 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.480 A lot of people who don't like Donald Trump, I think, 213 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.960 now see him as legitimate, even admire him for for 214 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.919 the way he overcame all that. It's going to make 215 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:22.639 Thanksgiving much easier with the lefties tomorrow. But I think 216 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.879 Youmer's key. So I want to get your best Kamala 217 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.200 jokes because listen, everybody can see at this point, right 218 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.240 she would have been a total disaster. America dodged a 219 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.240 bullet and so I think everybody can you know kumbaya 220 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.240 around Kamala jokes tomorrow, So go to lines on those 221 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.559 right now. And if you need a reminder, this this 222 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:43.000 is recent. This is like her video message yesterday, And 223 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:47.080 if you haven't seen it, let's just say, you know, 224 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.720 she's a very attractive human, not not her best look 225 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.720 in this video, and it sounds like it, right. 226 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.480 I just have to remind you, don't you ever let 227 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.360 anybody take your power from you. You have the same 228 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:09.159 power that you did before November fifth, and you have 229 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:14.080 the same purpose that you did, and you have the 230 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:21.000 same ability to engage and inspire. So don't ever let 231 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.840 anybody or any circumstance take your power from you. 232 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:25.799 Yeah, and you got to see the video, but you 233 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:26.559 can hear it, right. 234 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.639 And it's a good reminder to me that I need 235 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.600 to start drinking more in twenty twenty five because I 236 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.799 enjoy a drink here and there. 237 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.000 I've had one drink all year. 238 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.120 And seriously, I've been thinking I need to drink some 239 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.960 more in twenty twenty five, and she is a good 240 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.639 reminder of that. I don't think that's going to be 241 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.960 her resolution, but Elaine in Denver. You're on the Dan 242 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.679 Kapla Show. 243 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:50.039 Welcome. 244 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.440 Hi there, Dan. You were mentioning about good Kamala jokes 245 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.200 for Thanksgiving around the table, and I saw a skied 246 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:04.960 on SML Night Live where Maya Rudolph playing Kamala. She 247 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.600 was having a some kind of a party for her 248 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:12.159 step kids, and so she says to them quote, she says, 249 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.720 even though I'm not your Mamala, We're going to create 250 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:21.720 some dramaa here in our pajamaas. So those are the 251 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.279 only three, those three rhyming words that I remember, But 252 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.000 it went on to be it was funnier than the 253 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.279 way I'm oh. 254 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.279 No, no, no, I know the one you're talking about, Alane. 255 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.639 But thank you for that, because you're you've reminded people 256 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.840 everybody can work Mamala in somehow. Tomorrow there's a way 257 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.279 to work Mamaala into the conversation and that'll make everybody 258 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.799 laugh because he had all these celebrities out there seriously 259 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.559 saying it, which just goes back to a lot of 260 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.440 different things. Carlos and Milliken, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show. 261 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:58.519 Welcome, Hey Dad, I love the topic. I got a 262 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.759 joke for or Kamala Harris, yes, sir, or for all 263 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.120 the Hispanic voters I voted for Trump, we call her 264 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.559 Kamama la Herry. 265 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:18.679 Okay, any any particular meaning? Okay, Right, appreciate the call. 266 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.960 Di'le tones the punchline eight five five five eight two 267 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.039 five five the number if you just joined us saying, 268 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:29.240 Kam'm talking about ways to successfully navigate Thanksgiving tomorrow, fun ways, 269 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:30.120 you know, when you. 270 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.320 Have liberals at the table, and I'm just suggesting humor, 271 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.919 and particularly Kamala Harris jokes because everybody, everybody gets it right, 272 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:42.080 that would have been a disaster that wasn't serious. Mark 273 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.879 in Denver, You're on the dan Kapla show. 274 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.399 Welcome, Hi, thanks for taking my call. 275 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:52.159 Rub I imagined you were old enough to have grown 276 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.159 up in time when if you ask someone who they 277 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.720 voted for, they generally would say, it's none of your business. 278 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.240 It just used to be the. 279 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.559 Way we operated. We didn't wear our votes on our sleeves. 280 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:08.600 And you know, just thinking of Thanksgiving dinner and again 281 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:13.679 back to those older days when he didn't discuss religion, politics, 282 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.519 or sex at Thanksgiving dinner, and so I would just 283 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.240 question the notion of bringing in any political jokes, whether 284 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:27.039 it's about Kamala Harris or a great post Lady Malamia. 285 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:30.519 Trump, I'm so glad you called like the right place. 286 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.960 It doesn't seem like the right place. 287 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.360 I'm so glad you called, yeah, because because I do 288 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.960 think that's the threshold school idea. 289 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.600 Maybe that's an old school idea just like that. And 290 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.679 you do remember when we grew up and people said 291 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.120 to our parents, who'd you vote for? And they go, 292 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.639 it's none of your business. Yeah, it's just kind of 293 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.639 it was maybe a saner way to operate rather than 294 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.879 wearing your politics on our sleeve like we all do 295 00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:58.639 all the time. 296 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.080 Now, Mark, what a great thank you for that, and 297 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:02.480 not completely forgotten about that. 298 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.720 He's right. I mean it was a little. 299 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.440 Before my time, but I can remember, like my parents' generation, 300 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.639 maybe my grandparents' generation, I can remember people saying none 301 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.879 of your business and that being kind of a standard 302 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:22.000 acceptable response. That's fascinating. I forgot those days ever even existed. 303 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.559 And personally, I'm not suggesting those are better days, because 304 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.120 the way I look at it is the stakes. 305 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.000 Are so high in these issues. I mean I'm. 306 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.600 Literal when I tell you I think once again, Trump 307 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.559 voters saved America, and so I think these stakes are 308 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.320 so high and such a big deal that then now 309 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.879 I think we need to be out there telling people 310 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.759 what we believe and you know, trying to persuade them 311 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.399 to vote the way we want them to vote. So 312 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:54.360 I know that other era was probably more comfortable. I 313 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.600 think this is more necessary. Eight five five for zero 314 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.759 five A two five five the number Now Mark's point, 315 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.960 that doesn't mean that we have to use Turkey Day 316 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.880 in order to win the next election. And obviously nobody 317 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.519 wants to braid anybody tomorrow. It's just we've got to 318 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.599 recognize the fact we're all human, right, And with all 319 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.319 the abuse that Trump has taken and that Trump's supporters 320 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.559 have taken over the years, only to be proven right, 321 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:24.920 I'm just operating in reality, and I just know it's 322 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.519 going to be physically impossible for lots of us to 323 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.279 refrain and restrain from. 324 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.599 Some kind of acknowledgment that we were right. 325 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:35.759 Right. 326 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:42.480 So what's the best way to execute that without, say, 327 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.720 undermining the entire event? And I think there are ways 328 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.480 to do it, Like the prayer, Right, if you get 329 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.400 called on to say the prayer, you might slip in 330 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.640 a little and thank you. 331 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:54.880 For Trump voters. It doesn't have to be the whole prayer. 332 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.319 And at some point you're going to praise the cook, right, 333 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.799 so you can you can just work in a boy, 334 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:04.960 you really made that Turkey great again. 335 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.079 You know, just just some little things there. But let's 336 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.799 be realistic. 337 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.640 How many people are going to be able to go 338 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:18.640 cold turkey on politics tomorrow after probably the most consequential 339 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.799 election of our lifetimes and we won, Broly human God 340 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.079 has not finished with us yet, so let's figure out 341 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.279 the best way to do it. 342 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.839 Be some good kamalo joke here on the Dan Capla Show. 343 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.079 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 344 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.640 How's that play out with the UF tier policy? Because 345 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.000 it's the it's the threat of the tearff right. 346 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.240 Yeah, China has not played by the rules since they 347 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.000 came into WTO in nineteen ninety nine, and most administrations 348 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.279 have just let it roll. Most of us do business there, 349 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.279 realize it's time to really set the records straight here 350 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.599 because they cheat, they steal, they don't protect IP, we 351 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.400 can't use their courts, and she is getting away with 352 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.480 it because he thinks no one will stand. 353 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:02.720 Up to it. 354 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.400 My strategy here and what I would advocate for is 355 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.480 to raise the walls so high that it forces him 356 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.400 to the table here in Washington for a reciprocal deal, 357 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:13.640 which we desperately need. 358 00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:17.640 And listen, I understand nobody is interested in talking about 359 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.519 tariffs the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. The only reason I 360 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.640 played that, and that was Kevin O'Leary making a very 361 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.000 good point. The only reason I played that was as 362 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.680 part of Okay, our plan together, and this is something 363 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.039 we'll forge together. Now, vast majority of the audience, I think, 364 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.000 you know, I have a similar worldview that this conservative, 365 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.680 common sense approach, and then you get other you know, liberals, 366 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.480 and some flaming liberals in the audience were grateful for them. 367 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.240 But we need a plan for tomorrow for Thanksgiving, because 368 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.119 I just don't think it's realistic to assume we're going 369 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:54.759 to go into this Thanksgiving, this close to the most 370 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:58.720 consequential election of our lifetime, that we won after years 371 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.839 of abuse and DERI and they're trying to jail and 372 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:06.160 some are trying to kill our candidate. Now we're only human. 373 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.440 There's going to be something about that tomorrow. So let's 374 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.839 figure out the best approach. What I'm suggesting is the 375 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:16.400 combination of humor and unity. So humor good, Kamala Harris jokes, 376 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.200 if you have some share it, don't keep your light 377 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.400 under a bushel eight five to five for zero five 378 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.640 eight two five five or text d an five seven 379 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.960 seven three nine. So good, Kamala Harris jokes. Nobody's going 380 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.359 to get upset about that because she has zero support 381 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.720 in America. Zero support in America. Now, plenty of people 382 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.599 voted for it because they wanted to stop Trump, but 383 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.680 then Trump gets legitimized through his victory. 384 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:40.759 Because American DNA. 385 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.039 You know, we respect people who overcome enormous odds and 386 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.880 keep fighting and so so yeah, Kamala Harris joke's totally 387 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.720 safe tomorrow. So if you've got a good one, let 388 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.240 us have it. The other thing is just kind of 389 00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.000 the unity stuff. Some of these political issues that drove 390 00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.400 the campaign, but they're unifying other than if you have 391 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.359 a true psycho in your family, then maybe they can't 392 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.480 agree on things like uh, yeah, now somebody with male 393 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.839 organ shouldn't be in the girls shower or or you know, yeah, 394 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.319 we've got to deport criminals from our country people who 395 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.400 came here illegal and then committed other crimes. Yeah, we 396 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.839 got to get rid of them right now. Every sane 397 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.599 person's going to agree with that. Fentanyl, Yeah, stop the 398 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.960 chemical attack on our country. Everybody's going to agree with that. 399 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.400 So I think that's the key. And then, of course 400 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.680 humor in other ways you can work it in. So 401 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.839
